According to NBC Connecticut, Hartford Police are asking courts to charge the 18-year-old with “intimidation based on bigotry or bias.”

Brochu was arrested Saturday and given misdemeanor charges of third-degree criminal mischief and second-degree breach of peace.

University of Hartford President Greg Woodward gave a statement announcing that Brochu will not be returning to the school.

“Let me be clear: the accused student’s behavior was reprehensible and does not reflect the values of our institution. Let me repeat; racism and hatred will not be tolerated on this campus,” said Woodward.

Brochu’s former roommate, freshman Chennel “Jazzy” Rowe described what she endured while rooming with Brochu in a Facebook live video. Her story has sparked nationwide attention on social media and support from people on Twitter by using the hashtag #justiceforjazzy.

Brochu will appear in Hartford Superior Court on Nov.15, according to The Hartford Courant.
